This book is the first full-length study of contemporary American
fiction of passing. Its takes as its point of departure the return
of racial and gender passing in the 1990s in order to make claims
about wider trends in contemporary American fiction. The book
accounts for the return of tropes of passing in fiction by Phillip
Roth, Percival Everett, Louise Erdrich, Danzy Senna, Jeffrey
Eugenides and Paul Beatty, by arguing meta-critical and
meta-fictional tool. These writers are attracted to the trope of
passing because passing narratives have always foregrounded the
notion of textuality in relation to the (il)legibility of "black"
subjects passing as white. The central argument of this book, then,
is that contemporary narratives of passing are concerned with
articulating and unpacking an analogy between passing and
authorship. The title promises to inaugurate dialogue on the
relationships between passing, postmodernism and authorship in
contemporary American fiction. -- .
